They have every right afforded everyone else.....

The citizens of the state stood up and said marriage is between a man and a woman. Prop 8 came about because gays were being unlawfully allowed to marry. The decision of whether or not gays should be allowed to marry should always be made at state level and left there. This is not a federal issue. If a state's majority votes yes, then those folks are free to go to that state and marry.
I don't fall for all that gay rights garbage. They have every right I do; it's all about pushing the envelope as far as they can, which is running over everyone else's rights. Believe it or not, those folks who say NO have rights too and they voted NO.

People who carry guns are AFFORDED that right under
we are supposed to be a free country and live our own lives.... so that means govt control should never be in play. The problem is for those who don't have a lick of insurance, hardly ever worked,nothing, have always found a way to buy cigarettes ALL their lives and the taxpayers end up paying for them in their last miserable days with cancer, surgery, oxygen, hospitalized, home health, etc. I realize it's a tough thing all the way around....
but, if the govt wants to do something why not tell ANYONE taking welfare payments that if they spend taxpayer money on cigarettes OR booze for that matter, their resultant healthcare will not be on the taxpayers' backs. Wonder how that would go over!
